One thing that's great about dance right now is that there are several teams who can win or make the podium. It's made dance more interesting - there is no "coronation" that carries on year after year. You can't take a title for granted any more.

Its not good for such talent, like V-M is. But from other hand - D-W will chance to lose this title soon too. I dont talk they will - good luck to them in fighting for gold at all WCh and OG, but this could be.
As for P-B. They lost there chance to take bronze in Moscow. Hope they will work hard to made podium in Nice
Hope when V-M will retier, Shibs will show something not V-Moirish

I'm not a fan of the Shibs but no way they are in the style of V/M.It's not that the whole ice dancing world revolves around V/M as good as they are.P/I are more in their style,I/K try to emote the connection V/M emote,but the Shibs..No way I've seen them dancing young love and first ball.They're brother and sister after all.
In fact it becomes tiring seeing couples being constantly attacked just because they won or are considered a threat to V/M.It's not even fair to them to constantly imply that they need to retire because they won silver at Worlds.They're better athletes than that ,or that's how I see them.

And I agree that the dress was a bit unfortunate.She's not by anyway 'big' but the dress and the cut while stunning in pictures, on the screen made her lose her lines.Some dresses might be fantastic live but not show that well on tv.

I don't think that Tessa's image and dress were the right choice for her. She has a very beautiful natural pale look that matches her eyes perfectly well. That suntan and overdressy gold dress for a casual Latin dance music made her look heavier, and even fatter.

Are you kidding? The day Tessa is considered "fat" is the day everyone else might as well give up. Seriously, Tessa is a very small person, and I agree with Pogue that I liked her healthier, more athletic look. I'm not a huge fan of the tan and hair, but her clearly more trained and athletic body is a huge improvement. I'm sure being in such prime condition will help the team do even more difficult and wonderful things going forward. Fat and Tessa should never be used in the same sentence. Let's remember that these 2 champions are very, very young. They both are likely to change and develop yet, right through their 20's.

Well, I've got to say I far preferred the pink dress Tessa's using on CSOI for Samba to the gold dress she used at Worlds. I thought she looked fabulous in the pink, and with the ruffles, it looked very samba to me.

Those dresses with all those little hairs standing out, like the gold dress, give me the willies.

I think this is because now , when Tessa lose, she could have something not so bad for you, like this was before
Hope after this gold you will stop post so much deliriums about Tess
Could you to leave her alone?
Watch 10 000 D-W programs from this WCh and be happy - why you need all time touch there rivals? Enjoy best team ever and didnt watch at "puppy" Tessa - thats all
And they will not prevent your favorite sh=kater take gold any more - so be happy

Really? I don't think Tessa lost. I think after a very tough season where she under-went surgery on both legs, the fact she could be 2nd in the World in the same season is just outstanding. Lesser teams would have just taken the season off, or perhaps quit entirely. V/M are a very special, once in a generation team, and their performances at World's this year, their first full competition of the entire season, were awe-inspiring. Absolutely, D/W won Worlds this year, and I have always enjoyed watching their great skating. It doesn't mean I can't be a huge fan of V/M, or prefer them over D/W most of the time. There's no reason to slam one team in favour of the other. Why can't we like both teams, even if we generally like one better than the other, whichever way that goes?

Because one thing is post something good about your favorite skaters and other - all time try to show how there rivals is bad. Especially to post something like "Tessa have puppy face expression", "she will skate school rhumba in next season".
Look, what Doris post today in V-M article tread.
And i dont think this is normal to said - Tessa is fat

You seem to have Doris and let's talk confused. Doris NEVER slams a team, even if they aren't her favoriite. Let's talk slams anyone he/she thinks they can get away with slamming.
